I know I'm off topic, but I wanted to add something to the gastroparesis discussion. One reason in favor of liquid nutrition is that you don't have to rely on gravity to digest it, so if you are too ill to be out of bed, you can lie flat without everything coming back up, so to speak. I eat solid food during part of the day, but I have to remain upright for at least three to four hours following a meal so that the food can get through my stomach via gravity since I don't have peristalsis to help me out.

I do generally have Boost first thing when I get up as nothing solid is gonna stay down until I've been awake for a few hours. My second meal is small but might contain some lean meat and pureed veggies if I'm up to it as I have plenty of time during the day to digest it. Third meal is lighter and smaller, and the fourth is usually scrambled eggs and cream of rice.

Anyway, can't remember if the original poster had digestive problems, but I will vouch they they do contribute to feelings of weakness.
